PURPOSE: The high mutation rate in the mitochondrial genome makes it difficult to be certain about mtDNA pathology, and yet we now recognize several primary and provisional Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) mutations (which are commonly pathologic) and a larger number of secondary LHON mutations (which are often associated with certain primary LHON mutations and may contribute to pathogenicity),...
